New Left Review I/44, July-August 1967
H.W.
The Signalwoman
Work
Despite the deficit finances and often antiquated equipment of their industry, Railway workers are distinguished by their solidarity and esprit de corps. Woman in a ‘man’s’ job, H. W. works in a signal-box. She describes the reactions of her mates to her entry into their world, and the feelings which railway-workers share about the machines with which they work: ‘the management of the railway must be left to the railwayman’. H. W. is 43 and lives in Manchester.
